Neko is a five-month old, male Siamese kitten. He’s been inoculated and neutered.

Unfortunately Neko has had an accident (unseen) and injured his spine.
He currently has partial paralysis in his back legs, bladder, anus and tail.
Because he wasn’t emptying his bladder his kidneys were damaged.
This has been treated by hospitalization and a drip to flush them through. His kidneys are now working properly.

X-rays show no damage to discs, vertebrae etc.
We are hoping there is temporary pressure on his nerves caused by swollen and bruised tissues and that he’ll regain most, if not all of his functions. He’s being treated with an anti-inflammatory liquid with also contains something for pain relief.

He also has a nasty friction burn on his belly & leg, presumably caused as he fell. This is being treated with a cream containing neomycin, local anaesthetic & anti-inflammatory.

Neko has six-weeks for the anti-inflammatory to work and to show improvement.

We’ve already spent over 300€ / £250 / $400 on x-rays, blood tests, antibiotic injections and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Next week we have to take him for more antibiotics and anti-inflammatory + another consultation charge.

He’s a beautiful kitten and we’re giving him lots of love and attention.
What we don’t have is money, can you help us to try and save little Neko?

I’ve added an Help Neko option in our “Gift Shop” @ £10.
Please increase the quantity if you can afford more.

She’s been wormed, inoculated, micro-chipped and neutered.

We’d like to say a big thanks to Helen from London for kindly sponsoring Tiggy multiple times!

All gifts donated are spent directly on the animals care. Worming, flea & tick prevention plus inoculations for seven cats and two dogs is very expensive.

Sponsor Tiggy.

So watch out for some photos later today.

Good to be back!

The grass and wild flowers are beginning to grow and the animals grazed through the undergrowth beneath the cork oak trees.

Here are a few photographs.

It costs us £25 per month to look after Domingo.
Adopt Domingo for a month … only £25.

We’ll e-mail you a special set of photos taken of him during that month.

It costs us £25 per month to look after Chico.
Adopt Chico for a month … only £25.

We’ll e-mail you a special set of photos taken of him during that month.

So far in 2011 Domingo was adopted once. Thank you.
Chico has never been adopted.

The donkeys are all well.
The rain has washed and fluffed up their winter-coats which are coming through. They all look to be in fantastic condition.

The dark stormy conditions weren’t ideal for photography. I’ll take some next time the sun decides to shine in Andalucía.

We’ll soon see sweet chestnuts and acorns falling. They do eat some of these.
We need regular rainfall to start soon so that they can eat some succulent green shoots.

Gifts received towards their upkeep were £0 / $0 / €0 in September.
Disappointing but it was the site’s first month.

We are going to launch a major appeal for  £500 / $750 / €600 this month.
We need our two males castrating so Rosie our female can join them running free. She’s currently in a small paddock behind our house owned by our kind neighbours. She can’t stay there much longer, it isn’t ideal. However it is better than her getting pregnant.

The males must be castrated before the flies reappear in spring.
January/ early February is ideal.

If you can help us, this would really improve their lives.

Thanks

I’ve just designed a small website and can start the fund off with  £50 / $75 / €60
